A bad driver is not the reckless maniac running red lights and knocking over stop signs in order to beat the rush hour traffic. A bad driver is not the teenager in the driver’s seat for the first time, racing through a parking lot at ten miles per hour. A bad driver is neither the gray-haired man driving under the speed limit on a one lane road, nor the woman fixing her lipstick in the rearview mirror, instead of watching the light turn green. This essay does not refer to those without adequate driving

I didn’t know that a police car was hiding in the median of the Meadowbrook Expressway with its lights off at midnight. “Do you know why I pulled you over?” Of course I knew. So did the drivers I cut off while merging from the left lane into the shoulder. I glared at the officer for a few moments before answering him. “No, Officer, I don’t,” I said smugly.

picture yourself as an 18-wheeler cruising down the highway. Keep in mind that most 18-wheelers have at least 8 to 16 gears and these trucks range from 20,000 to 80,000 pounds. Now the majority of these trucks top speed is around 75 to 85 miles per hour in their highest gear. The question at this time should be: How does a truck that weighs 80,000 lbs even get up to the speed of 85 mph? I will answer that question for you right now: Momentum is how that is done. This truck will start at its lowest

Look around you, we’re not full. Approximately 255 people live in every square kilometre in UK. This isn’t ridiculous since Germany has a population density of 229 people per square kilometre. It isn’t even near the limit either since Singapore and Hong Kong function with population densities over 6000 people per square kilometre! According to The Guardian an IPSOS MORI poll showed that the idea that the UK is full is due to misinformation. The poll showed
